"Any time I manage to make something genuinely new, it is made of well-known elements of surrounding reality." T. Kantor. Two forms visible from afar, adequately diverse in terms of functions, dominate the space, intrigue with the contradictions creating emotional tension and create the “field” of action in the centre of the complex. The added building looks like a wrapped “object” with a “mysterious” and adequate to its function structure which is hidden behind the packing. The construction of the new part of the complex applies non-conventional solutions both in their material and static aspects (material: steel, reinforced concrete, glass) and the structure of buildings is resultant and derivative of the idea to form an external “theatre” space and create mutual tension between the individual elements of the entire arrangement.
